The dark and white striped tail Red-shouldered hawks search for prey while perched on a treetop or soaring over woodlands. When they sight prey, #they_kill_itbydroppingdirectlyonto it from the air. They may cache food near their nest for later consumption.[12] When in clearings, they sometimes fly #lowtosurpriseprey. Red-shouldered hawks, like most raptors, have very sharp vision and reasonably good hearing, with talons capable of killing animals at least equal to their own size. Small mammals are typically the most important prey, especially rodents. Voles, gophers, mice, moles and chipmunks may locally be favored based on abundance. Slightly larger mammals, such as rabbits and tree squirrels, are also occasionally predated. Other prey can include amphibians, reptiles (especially small snakes), small birds, and large insects. They will attack birds as large as pigeons. Blue jays, a potential prey species
